College Hill Remodel
Firm
The scope of the College Hill Residence remodel included
extensive rearrangement and renovation of spaces on the main floor of the
residence. When the owners purchased this home, it was apparent that very few
updates had been made since its original construction in 1942. Not only were
the finishes and appliances outdated, but the spaces were extremely segmented,
limiting access and views to the east.The main objective of this project was to open the spaces to
each other and the outdoors while clarifying the spatial relationships. The
kitchen, living area, and bedroom suite were aligned along the eastern wall to
maximize access and views. The interior partitions were rearranged to create a
more open floor plan with larger rooms and less wasted circulation space. A new
roof intersects the existing one along a perpendicular axis, delineating a
stronger entry threshold and sequence through to the back deck.
Maintenance,
durability, and energy efficiency were key parameters as products and materials
were selected for this project. Quartz countertops were used throughout the
kitchen and baths, for their durability and low maintenance. Other finish
materials include refinishable ash flooring, porcelain tile, and an exterior
ipe rainscreen. The windows and exterior doors throughout the house were
replaced with high-quality aluminum clad wood frames and insulated,
argon-filled, low-E glazing. Other energy efficient features include tankless
water heaters and low-voltage lighting.
